What is this thing called Salsa? Have you ever wondered what the word "Salsa" means or its history? It is not
something easily defined, as it did not stem from one specific place or person. Instead, it is a combination of multiple roots and
cultures as well as the creativity many different persons. In general, Salsa evolved as a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean
dances.

While it is definitely more than just Cuban, a large part of the dance originated on the island. The French who fled
from Haiti brought the Danzón or the country-dance of England/France to Cuba. This dance began to mix with the African rhumbas such
as Guaguanco, Colombia and Yambú. Added to this is the Són of the Cuban people, which was a mixture of the Spanish troubadour (sonero)
and the African drumbeats. This type of syncretism occurred in other places like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Puerto Rico,
albeit not at the same grand level and manner as in Cuba.
